Objective:To develop a robotic digestive endoscope system (RDES) and to evaluate its feasibility, safety and control performance by experiments.Methods:The RDES was designed based on the master-slave control system, which consisted of 3 parts: the integrated endoscope, including a knob and button robotic control system integrated with a gastroscope; the robotic mechanical arm system, including the base and arm, as well as the endoscopic advance-retreat control device (force-feedback function was designed) and the endoscopic axial rotation control device; the control console, including a master manipulator and an image monitor. The operator sit far away from the endoscope and controlled the master manipulator to bend the end of the endoscope and to control advance, retract and rotation of the endoscope. The air supply, water supply, suction, figure fixing and motion scaling switching was realized by pressing buttons on the master manipulator. In the endoscopy experiments performed on live pigs, 5 physicians each were in the beginner and advanced groups. Each operator operated RDES and traditional endoscope (2 weeks interval) to perform porcine gastroscopy 6 times, comparing the examination time. In the experiment of endoscopic circle drawing on the inner wall of the simulated stomach model, each operator in the two groups operated RDES 1∶1 motion scaling, 5∶1 motion scaling and ordinary endoscope to complete endoscopic circle drawing 6 times, comparing the completion time, accuracy (i.e. trajectory deviation) and workload.Results:RDES was operated normally with good force feedback function. All porcine in vivo gastroscopies were successful, without mucosal injury, bleeding or perforation. In beginner and advanced groups, the examination time of both RDES and ordinary endoscopy tended to decrease as the number of operations increased, but the decrease in time was greater for operating RDES than for operating ordinary endoscope (beginner group P=0.033; advanced group P=0.023). In the beginner group, the operators operating RDES with 1∶1 motion scaling or 5∶1 motion scaling to complete endoscopic circle drawing had shorter completion time [1.68 (1.40, 2.17) min, 1.73 (1.47, 2.37) min VS 4.13 (2.27, 5.16) min, H=32.506, P<0.001], better trajectory deviation (0.50±0.11 mm, 0.46±0.11 mm VS 0.82±0.26 mm, F=38.999, P<0.001], and less workload [42.00 (30.00, 50.33) points, 43.33 (35.33, 54.00) points VS 52.67 (48.67, 63.33) points, H=20.056, P<0.001] than operating ordinary endoscope. In the advanced group, the operators operating RDES with 1∶1 or 5∶1 motion scaling to complete endoscopic circle drawing had longer completion time than operating ordinary endoscope [1.72 (1.37, 2.53) min, 1.57 (1.25, 2.58) min VS 1.15 (0.86, 1.58) min, H=13.233, P=0.001], but trajectory deviation [0.47 (0.13, 0.57) mm, 0.44 (0.39, 0.58) mm VS 0.52 (0.42, 0.59) mm, H=3.202, P=0.202] and workload (44.62±21.77 points, 41.24±12.57 points VS 44.71±17.92 points, F=0.369, P=0.693) were not different from those of the ordinary endoscope. Conclusion:The RDES enables remote control, greatly reducing the endoscopists' workload. Additionally, it gives full play to the cooperative motion function of the large and small endoscopic knobs, making the control more flexible. Finally, it increases motion scaling switching function to make the control of endoscope more flexible and more accurate. It is also easy for beginners to learn and master, and can shorten the training period. So it can provide the possibility of remote endoscopic control and fully automated robotic endoscope.

Ventricular remodeling is a crucial pathological process in the prognosis and regression of myocardial infarction. Guided by the theory of “yang transforms into qi, while yin constitutes form" of The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》), combined with the pathological characteristics and manifestations of ventricular remodelling, it is believed that insufficient "yang transforms into qi" and excess "yin constitutes form" resulting to heart yang deficiency and turbid pathogen obstruction are the basic pathomechanism of ventricular remodelling after myocardial infarction; insufficient "yin constitutes form" and excess "yang transforms into qi" resulting to inadequate nourishment of the heart meridians and the emergence of various pathological changes are the key pathomechanism of prognosis and regression. Combined with clinical practice, we advocated that harmonizing yin and yang to maintain the dynamic balance of "yang transforms into qi" and "yin constitutes form". We also proposed the use of warming and tonifying to harmonise qi and transform it to help yang transport; resolving phlegm and removing dampness, invigorating blood and resolving toxins to disperse yin accumulation; clearing heat and extinguishing wind, and nourishing yin and channels to improve the prognosis. All these findings and summary could provide ideas on traditional Chinese medicine for prevention and treatment of ventricular remodelling after myocardial infarction.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided coil placement combined with tissue adhesive injection in the treatment of gastric varices with spontaneous shunt. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the patients with acute gastric variceal bleeding and spontaneous portosystemic shunt who were hospitalized and received balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) combined with endoscopic tissue adhesive injection or EUS-guided coil placement combined with tissue adhesive injection in Xiangyang Central Hospital from March 2019 to September 2022. The two surgical procedures were compared in terms of efficacy (technical success rate, 5-day rebleeding rate, 1-year rebleeding rate, and time to rebleeding), safety (the incidence rate of ectopic embolism, the amount of tissue adhesive used, and the amount of lauromacrogol used), and cost-effectiveness (hospital costs and length of hospital stay). The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the rebleeding. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsA total of 25 patients received successful EUS-guided coil placement and tissue adhesive injection, with a technical success rate of 100%, a median amount of 2.5 mL tissue adhesive used, a median amount of 11.0 mL lauromacrogol used, a mean length of hospital stay of 14.88±3.21 days, a mean hospital cost of 32 660.00±4 602.07 yuan, and a 5-day rebleeding rate of 0%; among these patients, 2 were lost to follow-up, and 23 patients with complete follow-up data had an incidence rate of ectopic embolism of 0% and a median time to rebleeding of 689 days. A total of 14 patients underwent modified BRTO combined with endoscopic tissue adhesive injection, with a technical success rate of 100%; a median amount of 5.0 mL tissue adhesive used during surgery, which was significantly higher than that used in EUS (U=39.000, P<0.001); a median amount of 10.5 mL lauromacrogol used during surgery; a mean length of hospital stay of 15.38±4.94 days; a mean hospital cost of 57 583.47±18 955.40 yuan, which was significantly higher than that used in EUS (t=-6.310, P<0.001); a 5-day rebleeding rate of 0%. No patient was lost to follow-up, and all 14 patients had an incidence rate of ectopic embolism of 0% and a median time to rebleeding of 244.50 days, with no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=1.448, P=0.229). ConclusionEUS-guided coil placement combined with tissue adhesive injection is a relatively safe and effective technique for the treatment of gastric variceal bleeding and has a high technical success rate, a low incidence rate of serious adverse events, and similar efficacy to BRTO, with higher safety and cost-effectiveness.

Objective:To analyze the influence of midwifeled accompanyon the psychological status and delivery outcomes of gestational diabetes patients, and to provide reference for the implementation of clinical intervention programs for gestational diabetes patients.Methods:A semi-randomized controlled trial was adopted.Convenience sampling method was used to select 120 gestational diabetes patients admitted to Langfang People′s Hospital from March 2021 to September 2023, and they were divided into control group and experimental group according to the admission order. Both groups were given intraspinal delivery analgesia, while the control group was combined with routine midwifery management, and the experimental group was combined with a midwife led accompany. Intervention lasted until 2 h postpartum in both groups, and follow-up for 1 month. The delivery indicators, psychological status, delivery outcome and satisfaction of the two groups were compared.Results:Finally, 120 gestational diabetes patients were included, 60 patients in the control group, aged (28.73 ± 2.79) years, and 60 patients in the experimental group, aged (27.98 ± 1.09) years. The first and second stages of labor in the experimental group were (416.35 ± 29.87) and (60.95 ± 7.44) min, respectively, which were shorter than (501.33 ± 37.59) and (80.28 ± 8.95) min in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t = 13.71, 12.87, both P<0.05). The blood glucose during delivery and 2 h postpartum hemorrhage was (6.81 ± 0.10) mmol/L and (236.18 ± 37.58) ml, respectively, lower than (7.48 ± 0.45) mmol/L and (325.70 ± 59.88) ml in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t = 11.26, 9.81, both P<0.05). After 1 month of follow-up, the scores of Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Self-rating Depression Scale of the experimental group were (30.86 ± 2.55) and (21.45 ± 2.67) points, which were lower than (42.19 ± 3.86) and (42.97 ± 3.15) points in the control group, and the scores of Psychological Resilience Scale were (71.22 ± 6.54) points, which was higher than that of the control group (55.38 ± 6.06) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t = 18.97, 40.37, 13.76, all P<0.05). After intervention, the incidence rates of lateral resection and postpartum hemorrhage in the experimental group were 28.3%(17/60) and 5.0%(3/60), respectively, lower than 48.3%(29/60) and 18.3%(11/60) in the control group, and the total satisfaction rate of the experimental group was 93.3%(56/60), higher than 80.0% (48/60) of the control group. The differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 5.08, 5.18, 4.62, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The midwife led accompany could shorten the labor process of gestational diabetes patients, reduce their blood glucose during delivery and the amount of blood 2 h postpartum, and improve their psychological status and delivery outcomes, which was conducive to improving patient satisfaction.
